The purpose of this lab is to introduce you to important tools for investigation in experiments (oscilloscope, multi-meter, signal generator), and to analog electronics and circuits. You will need these tools in your career in experimental physics. In this module, you will study complex impedance, RC and RLC circuits, make low pass and high pass filters, electrical noise, and explore pulse propagation in cables (reﬂections, effect of termination resistance).

Glossary
ELECTRICAL TERMINATION of a signal involves providing a terminator at the end of a wire of cable to prevent an RF signal from being reflected back from the end, causing interference. The impedence of the terminator must match the characteristic impedence of the cable or wire.
